Exclusive | Adriana Lima makes runway return at Paris Fashion Week at age 43, after six years off catwalk
Model Adriana Lima is making a high fashion comeback.
Page Six exclusively hears that Lima — who has not walked in a fashion show since 2018 — will strut her stuff at a Maison Schiaparelli show in Paris on Wednesday.
Her last runway appearance was also for the avant-garde Italian fashion house.
Lima — who became a household name as a Victoria’s Secret model — last made headlines in December when fans were speculating over her appearance on the red carpet at a screening of “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.”
In response, Lima Instagrammed a selfie, declaring, “The face of a tired mom of one teenage girl, two pre-teens, one active boy, a one-year-old learning to walk, and three dogs…Thanks for your concern.”
Lima, now 43, also told Harpers Bazaar Arabia, “I am not 16 years old. I started modeling at 16, but I will never be 16 again. I’m 42 and I’m the happiest I’ve been; the happiest with myself.”
The Brazilian stunner, who is repped by the Society Management, was previously on Forbes’ list of top earning models, and was a Victoria’s Secret Angel for nearly 20 years.
She was the face of Maybelline and Chopard, and has walked in shows for designers including Anna Sui and Givenchy.
Fellow Victoria’s Secret model Irina Shayk was also just spotted in Paris, exiting Schiaparelli.
She first walked the runway in 1997 at New York Fashion Week, with models including Naomi Campbell. She has also been a spokesmodel for Maybelline and appeared in the film “Ocean’s Eight.”
